Last night was a terrific evening for Russell Westbrook. That was until things got awkward after Game 1. Westbrook received a standing ovation during the matchup against his old team, the Oklahoma City Thunder. It was Mr. Triple-Double's first playoff game on the road in Oklahoma City with a live crowd.

Russell Westbrook dismisses a LeBron James-related question with a blunt response after the Nuggets–Thunder Game 1.

James was originally slated to serve as the honorary chair and attend his first Met Gala this year, but did not go because of a knee injury. Westbrook has previously gone to the Met Gala, but did not this year as he is taking part in the Denver Nuggets' playoff series against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
